“Without music, life would be a mistake.”

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
― The Fellowship of the Ring

Delicious Ambiguity.”

“Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.”
